Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 39825, member: 636"] Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu changed the name of a major health university to honor Ghana's former president. The University of Health and Allied Sciences became the John Evans Atta Mills University of Health and Allied Sciences. Iddrisu made this announcement during a meeting with the school's new governing council at his ministry office. The name change recognizes Mills for creating the university and supporting health education across Ghana. Professor Kodzo Gavua leads the university council and supports the decision to rename the institution. The university continues to train doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals for Ghana and its neighboring countries. President Mills initiated the construction of the school on February 7, 2011, during his tenure as the nation's leader. The university was officially opened in 2011, and students began classes the following year. The school became the first public university in the Volta Region of Ghana. Government officials designed this institution specifically to train healthcare professionals for the country. The renamed university operates from two different locations in the Volta Region. Students attend classes at campuses in Ho and Hohoe cities. The institution focuses on health education, medical research, and helping local communities. School officials work to produce skilled medical professionals who can serve Ghana's healthcare needs. The university maintains its commitment to excellence in training the next generation of doctors and healthcare workers. [/QUOTE]
